Ciudad Juarez Violence at lowest levels since 2007

After several turbulent years at the beginning of the decade, Ciudad Juarez violence is trending downward.

A Mexican think tank, the non-profit Citizens’ Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice, recently removed Mexico’s largest border town, Ciudad Juarez, from its listing of the fifty most violent cities in the world. Ciudad Juarez violence reached its apogee during the period 2008-2010, when it recorded an average of four hundred homicides per resident per annum. In 2014, the city recorded four hundred and thirty-eight homicides that were reported by the State of Chihuahua’s Attorney General, while Ciudad Juarez violence dropped even further in terms of reported homicides last year when three hundred and eleven were recorded.

In addition to an upgrade in the professionalization of the Ciudad police force, the Citizens’ Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice attributes the diminishing of Ciudad Juarez violence to a number of other factors. Among them are:

better coordination among government crime fighting entities;

a higher number of arrests;

tougher sentencing guidelines;

an upgrade in equipment and resources provided to law enforcement agencies;

greater citizen engagement in the reporting of criminal acts, as well as in efforts to rebuild the cities civil society.

“The Tecma Group of Companies' services allow me to concentrate on making and selling wood pallets. I have Tecma handle all administrative functions, Mexican Customs, human resources, all permitting, as well as the legal aspects of manufacturing in Mexico. It’s a very good, complementary relationship. They provide me with a project manager, which means I don’t have to deal with a lot of individuals. I deal with one individual, who then deals with experts in all relevant disciplines on my behalf.”

“When we purchased the Dashmat product line, which is the product that we are manufacturing in Ciudad Juarez, we were able to establish a Mexico manufacturing plant with Tecma very quickly. They got us up and running very smoothly under their Mexico Shelter Manufacturing Partnership (MSMP). We like Tecma because it is a stable company that has been around for many years, and looks to be around for many more. Tecma appears to care about our Mexico business' success is very responsive to our needs.”

“Since we started, we have been able to maintain a competitive advantage over many of our competitors that have moved their manufacturing to China by reducing lead times to 4 weeks less than most of our competitors. This has given us the ability to compete on pricing against many of our competitors that have gone to China. We found that in our Juarez staff in Mexico we found a highly-trained workforce with strong background, and the capability to do mannequin manufacturing in Mexico.”

“More than a decade ago, Portage Electric Products Incorporated was faced with the reality that we were going to have to consider manufacturing in another country in order to maintain our competitiveness in the global marketplace. We chose Mexico, as we could be here literally within hours, should the need arise. We chose the Tecma Mexico Shelter Manufacturing Partnership (MSMP) because it provided virtually everything we needed to begin with and support an ongoing Mexico manufacturing operation.”
